If all the cars have four axles then that would make this one long train with 235 cars which rounds out to 940 axles. This is unreal and I suppose most were empties. Of course, EMDs were powerful units pulling about anything at slow speeds. Once here in Ohio I saw an EMD SD40-2 on CSX pulling 100 conventional TV flats towards Willard on a Saturday as I chased it from Akron, Ohio. It is something I don't do any more because of gas prices, and I miss those times of chasing trains. Thanks for posting as a reminder to my chasing trains.
